You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 218 Imitation
Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Yan, who was still acting arrogantly, leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Dao Yan's pretty face instantly turned red, and she nodded slightly without thinking for a few seconds:

"Okay, I promise!"

Zhao Xuan chuckled, stretched, and said:
"Then you go ahead. I remember you didn't go out tonight, so I won't go out either. I'll stay home and wait for you to come back."

"no!"

Before Dao Yan could answer, Dao Ya rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm, saying angrily:

"I want a midnight snack. If you don't come with me, I'm going to stay with my sister tonight and sleep with her, hmph!"

Dao Ya's threat worked. After watching Zhao Xuan put on his coat, he was reluctantly dragged out the door by Dao Ya. Dao Yan's smile disappeared. She quickly walked to the door, put on her trench coat, made some disguises, and then left the apartment.

Dao Yan, who was on her way to the French Concession, was both happy and angry.

To her delight, the young tiger finally gave her a task.

What angered her was that, as the subordinate of the young tiger, the young tiger didn't give her the task himself, but instead sent a tiger girl named Edith to tell her what task to perform.

If things continue like this, Dao Yan even suspects that she herself is Hu Niu's subordinate.

Also, the younger sister didn't even know about this mission, which means that Young Tiger doesn't trust Zhao Xuan either.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuan was still obedient to him and did not interfere even though he knew that Zhao Xuan was going to carry out a mission for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan smiled slightly, stepped on the gas pedal, and the Cadillac sped away.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan, who had left with Dao Ya earlier, had already driven to the French Concession.

Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with great curiosity and asked:

"Brother-in-law, are we on the same mission as my sister? No, I should ask, is my sister's mission to provide cover for us?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and nodded:
"That's right, we're going to pull off something big this time."

Dao Ya pursed her lips, and when she looked ahead and saw the familiar street, she exclaimed:

"Brother-in-law, are we going to the Cathay Hotel?"

As soon as Dao Ya finished speaking, Zhao Xuan parked the car at a street corner not far from the Hua Mao Hotel.

"Wait a minute, we'll move out at 11 o'clock sharp."

"But Xiaoya, first, speak a few words in the voice of a middle-aged man, the kind that you can learn quickly."

Daoya smiled, coughed twice, and then her voice completely changed:
"Is this okay?"

Hearing Dao Ya's deep, weathered voice, Zhao Xuan gave her a thumbs up.

"This should work, Xiaoya. How do you make a sound?"

Dao Ya leaned forward and pressed several acupoints on Zhao Xuan's neck with her fingers:
"Brother-in-law, think about the voice I just made, and pay attention to your breath. This kind of thing requires talent. I can confirm that you can produce the same range of my voice."

"Let's try it now."

Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and then said something casually.

Hearing his voice completely change, Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up, but just as Dao Ya withdrew her finger, Zhao Xuan's voice changed back.

"this?"

Dao Ya smiled, her eyes narrowed:
"I told you it requires talent!"

"But brother-in-law, if you press those acupoints I just pressed, you'll be fine for a short time."

Meanwhile, all the people Zhao Xuan had gathered were in place.

At a wonton stall on the back street of the Hua Mao Hotel, He Daping, wearing a rickshaw driver's hat, slowly stopped pulling a rickshaw. He grabbed a handkerchief from his shoulder to wipe his forehead before smiling and walking to a table to sit down.
"Boss, a bowl of wontons, please!"

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

The woman sitting opposite He Daping was eating wontons. Seeing the owner go inside to get busy, she looked up and smiled.

"Red Hare, it's been a long time."

He Daping grinned and replied:
"Comrade Lidong, I didn't expect we'd be working together again. You've been shining brightly lately."

Indeed, the person sitting behind He Daping was Miao Xue.

After receiving Chen Guang's call, Sun Jianzhong immediately contacted Miao Xue and He Daping.

"The brothers are all hiding in the alley over there. It's so late, I don't know what important mission it is, that they've mobilized two teams of people."

Miao Xue didn't answer, and continued eating the wontons in her bowl. Just then, the stall owner came over with a bowl of wontons.
"Enjoy your wontons."

At exactly 11 o'clock, He Daping had just taken two bites when a man wearing a gray long gown and a round-brimmed hat walked up to the stall.

Miao Xue and He Daping immediately became alert, and then they saw the middle-aged man make a gesture with his hand behind his back, indicating that they should go to a nearby alley, where the other comrades were gathered and waiting.

He Daping quickly finished eating the wontons, put down the money, and left the wonton stall with Miao Xue one after the other.

Upon entering the alley, Miao Xue immediately drew her gun and aimed it at the man in the long robe.

He Daping, who arrived later, also stopped and quickly raised his hand to let Miao Xue put down her gun.
"Sir, the sun sets beyond the mountains!"

"Hoeing the fields at noon."

Upon hearing the reply, He Daping excitedly stepped forward:
"Comrade Chenguang! We've finally met!"

Using nanotechnology to change clothes with a single click, Zhao Xuan altered both his appearance and voice. He turned to face He Daping and Miao Xue and smiled.

"Hello, Red Hare and Winter Solstice."

"To make a long story short, next, go to this location to get your equipment, then attack the police station and lure the police officers outside the Cathay Hotel away."

He Daping didn't ask any more questions, since Sun Jianzhong had said that after arriving here, he would follow Chenguang's plan.

After taking the map from Chen Guang, He Daping and Miao Xue exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Don't worry, Comrade Chenguang, but aren't you coming with us?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"I have other tasks, so I'll leave this to you. Remember, after you lure the police away, retreat immediately. It's marked on the map. Follow the route I've marked, understand?"

While Zhao Xuan was meeting with members of the underground Communist Party, Zhu Zhili saw Dao Yan arrive at Zhu's Clothing Store on Xiafei Road and quickly went to close the door.

"Dao Dao, what brings you here?"

"You wouldn't happen to be the one Young Tiger was talking about, the one who directed our operation, would you?"

Seeing Dao Yan nod, Zhu Zhili sighed with some regret:
"I thought I'd get to see the tiger cub this time."

After listening, Dao Yan said, rather speechless:
"I've never even seen Young Tiger, and you still want to see him? But Young Tiger is really too mysterious. He didn't even personally lead the team to disrupt the Pufferfish Conference, such an important mission."

Zhu Zhili smiled, took Dao Yan's hand, and led her to the secret room.

"Dao Dao, Master Niu has delivered a batch of weapons to us. The people from the Shanghai station will be here soon. How should we proceed?" Dao Yan asked, sitting on the sofa and picking up a map from the side.

"Our mission this time is to cover the operation of Young Tiger, cut the telephone line, take out the former agency agents coming out of the Cathay Hotel, and then retreat along this route. The whole plan seems simple, but we are under a lot of pressure."

"The only thing I can't figure out right now is how Young Tiger will get into the Cathay Hotel, and how he will take those Jewish businessmen away?"

Zhu Zhili patted Dao Yan on the shoulder:

"They're young tigers, so naturally they have ways to get into the Cathay Hotel. But after this operation to stop the original organization's people ends, the whole world will know that Shanghai Station is hidden in the French Concession. The Japanese won't let it go, and Shanghai Station will probably have to be moved again."

Dao Yan didn't care about any of that. With Chen Chuyin around, even if the Japanese conducted a full-scale search, they wouldn't be able to catch up with the Shanghai Station.

However, it seems that Shanghai Station will soon be in a state of silence again.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan felt sorry for her teacher.

Having just managed to recover some ground while the enemy's attention was elsewhere, it seems the people at the Shanghai station are about to have to live a life of hiding and running again.

Before long, the people dispatched by Shanghai Railway Station arrived at the back door of Zhu's Clothing Store.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Zhili and Dao Yan walked out through the back door with their weapons and equipment.

At the Shanghai Railway Station, the three leaders immediately approached Zhu Zhili and Dao Yan upon seeing them:

"Junior, we're collaborating again. I just didn't expect that this time you'd be representing Young Tiger. I really want to meet this Young Tiger."

The speaker was Lao Tao from the Hurricane team. Accompanying Lao Tao were a dashing woman from the Shanghai station and Fu Zhengguo, the deputy stationmaster.

Dao Ya smiled at Lao Tao:
"Senior, I'm counting on you this time."

After speaking, Dao Yan looked at the woman, his expression turning somewhat surprised:

"Zheng Yi! I never expected you to be transferred to Shanghai Station!"

Zheng Yi was previously a member of the Eyebrow Painting Group, but after Zhou Mei's betrayal, Zheng Yi withdrew to Shancheng.

Zheng Yi smiled, stepped forward and hugged Dao Yan, whispering in Dao Yan's ear:

"Xiao Dao, I've heard about what happened to the Eternal Night Group. My condolences."

Dao Yan paused slightly, then nodded with a somewhat dejected expression.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After the two separated, Fu Zhengguo walked forward with a smile:
"A-Dao, your teacher asked me to give you his regards."

Dao Yan shook hands with Fu Zhengguo and said:

"Sir, please also give my regards to the teacher."

"Alright, we're here on a mission. The others are waiting in the back; it's not appropriate to bring them to see you. A-Dao, assign the mission!"

Dao Yan nodded solemnly. After Zhu Zhili helped him unfold the map, Dao Yan pointed to several streets and said:
"Our mission is to hold these streets. If we discover any spies sent out from the Cathay Hotel, we must eliminate them immediately and absolutely prevent them from breaking through."

"Also, Zheng Yi, you take some men to cut the telephone lines at the Hua Mao Hotel. Sir, you also need to keep a close watch on the phone booths around the Hua Mao Hotel. We absolutely cannot allow any agents from the original agency to make any calls."

"Old Tao, this road is the shortest to the original headquarters. You and your men guard it well. The pressure on your side is the greatest, so you must hold on."

“Once we leave the French Concession, we will have no advantage at all. Outside the French Concession, if there is any gunfire, the military police will arrive to provide support immediately, and then our mission will be considered a failure.”

Old Tao nodded solemnly and said:
"Don't worry, junior, I'll be fine."

"Alright, let's split up and go our separate ways!"

"We have prepared a batch of submachine guns, a Type 24 heavy machine gun, and three boxes of hand grenades!"

As soon as Dao Yan finished speaking, Zhu Zhili opened the back door, and there were all the things Dao Yan had mentioned neatly arranged.

Old Tao's eyes lit up when he saw the Type 24 heavy machine gun:
"Junior, is this prepared for me?"

Dao Yan smiled:

“That’s right, you’re under the most pressure. Having this heavy machine gun should help relieve some of that pressure.”

"Alright, you guys distribute the things yourselves. Zhili and I will be leaving now."

After leaving, Zhu Zhili looked at Dao Yan beside her, puzzled:
"Dao Dao, aren't we going to join the operation?"

Dao Yan took Zhu Zhili's hand and walked towards the agreed-upon place:

"Of course we'll participate. We need to go to the mouth of the Suzhou River now to prepare for the rendezvous. If this mission succeeds, the Japanese pufferfish plan will be completely over."

At this moment, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya, who had already returned to the car, stared at each other in disbelief.

Daoya would occasionally glance at her wristwatch.
"Brother-in-law, didn't we say we'd move at 11:00 sharp? It's already 11:30, aren't we going to move yet?"

Zhao Xuan has already released nanobugs into the Huamao Hotel and discovered that Kawashima Ichiro contacts Doiyuu every half hour to report the situation.

Just then, Kawashima Ichiro hung up the phone, and Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Ya and smiled:
"No rush, just wait."

Inside the car, as soon as Zhao Xuan finished speaking, the police officers stationed around the Hua Mao Hotel hurriedly gathered together.

Dao Ya's face lit up with joy:
"Brother-in-law, is it time to make our move?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:
"Not yet, wait a little longer."

Fifteen minutes later, all the police officers had left the Cathay Hotel. Kawashima Ichiro, having failed to communicate with the detective, angrily stood in front of the Cathay Hotel and kicked a doorpost.

"Baka! These good-for-nothings should never have cooperated with those money-grubbing bastards from the French Concession!"

After finishing his rant, Kawashima Ichiro's expression changed, and he quickly ran into the restaurant.

Upon reaching the front desk, Ichiro Kawashima quickly grabbed the phone, but a few minutes later, even more furious, he slammed it down.

"Assemble a small team immediately. Quickly, check the telephone lines. Send someone to the phone booths outside to contact the chief of staff and tell him there's a problem at the Cathay Hotel and we need backup!"

A squad of thirty-six men quickly dispersed. Kawashima Ichiro looked around with a gloomy expression. There were still two squads inside the Cathay Hotel, which should be enough for the short term.

Once the support from Doiyu arrives, all problems can be solved.

Seeing a small team rushing out of the Huamao Hotel, Zhao Xuan's lips curled into a smile, while Dao Ya frowned and asked:

"Brother-in-law, aren't we going to do it yet?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:
"Don't rush me. You saw Tufeiyuan walk me out of the sushi restaurant last time. Do you remember his voice? Can you imitate it?"

Dao Ya's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile:

"Of course, I have a photographic memory, and that fat, round guy's voice is very distinctive, so I can't forget it even if I want to."
